Been around most of them. Don't have the memory to participate as someone's "next 100" would look better. Kind of staggered by the commitment some of you put into these, not to mention the knowledge.This is supposed to be my favorites right? At the moment “First Time I Died” is one of my favorites. So why shouldn’t I rank it?

I assume closing down the politics forum opened up time for Tim to explore new things. That said, no way this belongs in any top 10 list.
Interesting question. Taking it to the extreme, I would say my favorite song is my son singing Jingle Bells with a kid originally born in Mexico.
As long as you continued your approach and don't drop in a Metallic song at #1 while omitting all the other big names from your top ten to skew the final results it really doesn't matter. I've been hitting up your songs out of curiosity which has been interesting and why I like your approach. That said, I find the various ranking of the various different Queen, Talking Heads, Metallica, Neil Young, etc songs more interesting.
That said, a fun exercise would be a ranking thread of songs Most Haven't Heard and song Most Have Heard based on some Billboard ranking.
ETA - IMO...You also said "at the moment". Personally I think lists like this should be based on songs that will have staying power in your personal rankings. It's not fair to penalize Stairway for being overplayed and include a cool new tune that would fall below Stairway if it was overplayed.
tim's always been in the music threads and has led a lot of terrific music threads himself. I don't recall seeing you in them before, but there are some such as the 2000s music threads that I don't spend much time in, so maybe those are your jam. In any case, you are very welcome in this one, and it's nice to see new "faces"!
Regarding your statements of what these lists "should" look like, that's not what we've been doing here. Within the parameters of artist eligibility, people are free to do what they wish. In the British Isles one, for instance, if I were going to do a true look at my top 31 songs, they'd be overwhelming Beatles and Beatles-adjacent, which just didn't seem that fun to me. Many of us have limited ourselves to a "one per artist" rule, but many have not. On the other extreme, in the US countdown someone limited himself only to female artists, and in the UK one someone limited himself to music from this century. In this one, JML challenged himself to come up with lists representing 62 different countries, and some of the songs are ones he'd never heard before this exercise. All up to the person in question, and I wouldn't tell someone what they should be doing. The differing approaches has actually made it more fun (to me at least), as we've been introduced to a lot of new music that we've ended up loving!
Your ideas for threads of the "Most Haven't Heard" and "Most Have Heard" sound intriguing. Fire 'em up! We did do one that was sorta like your "Most Have Heard" when we did a draft involving Rolling Stone's latest garbage top 500 list. But it was limited to those 500 songs, so your suggestion is a bit different.
Regarding your "should" statement...I find the numbers and stats interesting (go figure on a FF board). Val has put effort in tabulating them so the idealist wants them to reflect something. Agreed with you that the different criteria people use lead to new finds. I've looked at many of the one offs posted here. I believe I stated to Tim that was a reason why I liked his approach. When you assign points based on ranking and then tabulate multiple people's submission there's an implied expectation that everyone is working off criteria that are somewhat the same. Being a stats purist in an art thread doesn't exactly go together. The ACE award idea is probably perfect for this, although it's still fun to follow along regarding which poster predicts the top ten.
Fun thread to lurk in. Thanks for putting in the time and posting the content.
I love stats. After it's over, I can answer any damn question anyone asks. 
In The Dark
I see you've visited the 1980s movie thread.
Have it on right now and was thinking how much I like it despite its not being one of my usual genres.
